doesn't praying for love count as emotional manipulation? And I know that at least here where I live people have even prayed for the election of their party's representatives....they get it, thank god, then spend their free time complaining about the government...shouldn't they tell god they want to give back their answered prayer?

I think it is terribly rude when people jump right into thanking "god", while neglecting the efforts and care of the real, living people right in front of them.

<p>Though it is very rare for somebody to tell me that I should "thank god" for something, I do hear the statement itself quite often from my younger sister.</p>
<p>She has a 1yr old son who was born 2+ months premature, and is currently living with the baby's father, who is a deadbeat beyond measure. I am constantly seeing facebook updates pertaining to "thank god my baby is a year old now", yet she doesn't even think to mention the government covered medical care that paid the one million…</p>

<p>She has a 1yr old son who was born 2+ months premature, and is currently living with the baby's father, who is a deadbeat beyond measure. I am constantly seeing facebook updates pertaining to "thank god my baby is a year old now", yet she doesn't even think to mention the government covered medical care that paid the one million dollar medical bill (yeah, that much), or our mother, who supported her and her deadbeat bf for over a year, who took out loans and went into major debt trying to provide for her child and grandchild.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm very glad that her child is doing well, but that kind of ignorant short sightedness makes me livid. I think of the numerous times my mother has called me, crying and at her wits end with everything, my dad calling me in a blind rage, all of the stress that my family has had to go through. And all she can be bothered to say is "thank god".</p>

<p>If Yahweh goes bowling and throws a gutterball, does this mean he is not omnipotent?</p>

This type of selfish BS is what pisses me off about the whole thing. Thank God?!?! That implies a) god actually favors you above oh I don't know 6 billion other people and b) that he can in fact influence on events and therefor can save life and therfor should've done something to prevent Haiti and didn't and therefor is cruel and malevolent. Thank God. The most selfish and arrogant thing a person can say. You should call her our next time Rene. Every time an athlete points up to the heavens…

I haven't told my mom I'm an athiest yet either, currently I live in Spain working for the navy so it hasn't come up much yet. Not really looking forward to that conversation. But my parents do crap like this all the time. "God will provide for us!" More like the job you worked your butt off to get and keep will!
